GSX-R1100M Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection & Oil-Cooled Maintenance

DSC00131
Cowl vibration damper made by the owner. Since serviceability is somewhat compromised, we’ve taken the liberty of modifying it for future maintenance—please understand.

We rounded it off, filed it down, welded a nut to the back, and finished it. Please forgive us if the nut center is slightly off.

We’re also replacing the damper. There are hardly any dampers where the rubber or elastomer is directly crushed and fixed in place.
When fastening with bolts, step bolts or sleeves and collars bottom out before the fastening is complete, so always insert sleeves or similar spacers.
Depending on the location, plastic parts will also suffer less damage when treated this way.

Now you can ride with confidence and ease.
